- Adnan, I'm scared. - Don't be afraid.

Mail, you move there. Malik, you there.

Ahmad?

Ahmad, you wait here. If you spot any enemy you scream.

Ahmad, you cover the rear.

Ouch.

Adnan, the enemy!

Adnan!

Adnan! You brat.

I asked to take your brother to take a bath.

Where have you gone?

- Ramlah, Adnan is here! - He spot us.

Oh my God, what's the matter?

I asked to take your brother to take a bath

and asked him to play war with you.

Boys Ramlah. Where are you going?

I'm going to send some food to Safiah's father.

Tumira just tagging along. She and Safiah can't be apart.

Just like us in the olden days.

Okay, I'm going home.

Sungai Ramai Village, Kajang 1927

Village leader, there are girls watching.

Girls, you can't watch

Who want to go first?

Don't want..

Who want to go first?

Adnan! You're first..

Adnan, yesterday you aimed your weapon at me.

Today I want to see your 'gun'.

Don't worry, after this you'll be a grown man.

Drink the water

Drink it

When you grow up, you can be a warrior of our nation

You must protect what our forefathers inherit

Fight for our race, religion and our land

Remember adnan, don't waste mandate which is given to you

10 years later

- Good Morning Sir. - Good morning

Good Morning Sir

Where is Saidi?

He never came

Good Morning sir, yesterday you given a day off to Mr Saidi.

His son just got back from England.

England is my country, I hardly go back.

But this village kid easily go to England. What is he doing there?

He became a soldier.

He's giving honors to Sultan of England sir.

Sultan England?

Sorry, King of England. The king.

Bye..

Ismail, are you acquainted with Mr Saidi's son?

I know him well sir, his name is Adnan

When we were kids, we always play war together.

Now he become a soldier, I've also applied but unsuccessful.

Malays become soldier?

You think Malay soldier can become a good soldier?

Why do you make up in front of the mirror?

Go out, entertain the guest.

Yes, I'm looking for Ahmad.

I can't seem to find him

Never mind, you get out first, let me search for him.

This kid, where have you gone?

Go help in the back

- Yes father. - Hurry!

Oh my God

You look good together

Hurry Tumira

Now a Malay has become a high ranking officer in the English army.

They prove that Malays can thrive and matching soldiers all over the world.

This is why the meeting was held today.

We have to unite together with the Malay Youth Unity (MYU).

Don't be like Dato' Maharajalela, Dato' Naning,

Dato' Bahaman and Tok Janggut.

It is true that they fought.

But they fought without any help from the people.

Yet they were labelled as rebels and devil by the British.

Gentlemen, a colonist is still a colonist.

They intentionally clouded our eyes by twisting history facts.

On that I plead you gentlemen, rise!

Rise with the Malay Youth Unity.

Let us create a path to independence with one goal, a fight to freedom.

We freed Malaya from the British Colony.

Rise with the Malay Youth Unity.

Ah Seng, please hurry repairing my bicycle

Yes, it's done.

How much?

Never mind, it's just the off chain.

- Free of charge. - Thank you

Adnan, you brought a nice English cigarette.

It's an advantage our kids joined the army

Look

Ismail..

What are your ranking Adnan?

- A Col Sargent - What?

- How long have you been there? - 3 weeks.

It's not long but since he was away to Britain,

I feared I have just lost a son.

Once a while he mail us money

Siti

Your father misses you very much

Once in a while, visit the villagers Adnan.

Don't go too long.

Thank you for assisting Japan Ibrahim

Mr Fujiwara, I agreed to help you

because you promise to help my people.

The Japan Emperor agree to give 18,000 to fund your cause

Japan will pick your people who be the guide

and spoke person when the military arrive

Malaya will be freed, your king will rise.

Islam, the Malay women and welfare we will protect

How are we going to tell all the Malays?

Don't worry Ibrahim, everybody can hear the Japan radio.

You put in the papers compliments the Japan.

Japan has won against China and Russia.

Now Japan and British are no longer friends

- No more coalition - I'm afraid being label as Japan's spy

Don't be afraid Ibrahim,

when Japan have conquer Malaya and disperse of the British

All Malays will realize Ibrahim Yaakob is a hero.

Hero of Malaya.

I don't want to be a hero

I just don't like Malay to be fools to the foreigners

- Peace be upon you - And upon you too

I'm glad, I thought you don't you see me again.

I thought it was you

It was expected you just came from overseas,

are you bored you seeing pretty girls there?

I'm not denying that there were pretty girls there,

but not as pretty compared to girls in this village.

You guys are good with words

- Then what do you want me to do? - There is a way

- What? - You think for yourself.

There comes a time when a man search for a woman to get married (Malay Proverb)

Adnan, sit.

Your siblings are all interested to be a soldier like you.

Moreover your brother Ahmad.

You give your permission?

You all are grown up.

I believe you can choose your own path

Only you, when are you getting married?

You have a job, position, it is the right time for you to get married.

Have you found the right one?

Who would want me father?

You're more worst than raising a girl.

Let me search for you

What are you thinking?

Father have told me of your intention

I'm on 2 junction.

I don't whether I should follow your foot step or should I stay here

Your tone as if you're heartbroken.

- Safiah. - What?

I heard our parents are marrying Safiah to you.

Are you shocked? You must have known

How about you?

It never came to mind, maybe after I become a soldier

I don't mind if you decided to join.

In the past we entrust others to watch over our country,

we let the english defend it without knowing their intention. This is my land.

I am suppose to protect it, defend it that's why I chose to sign up.

I'm glad you're following my foot steps

but this passion you must have it here if you want to be a true soldier.

I vow to be a true soldier that’s protect our religion, race and the nation

4 years ago

Adnan, your brother is still young. We're still depending on you

Your father and I are old.

If you want to defend the nation, you can without joining the army.

Father?

I don't want you to disobey your parents

but what you've achieve here is not enough to face what out

there which are well equipped and great knowledge of the battlefield.

We must learn their knowledge despite who they are even from a colonist.

Knowledge from the enemy can give us an advantage.

What's important fight for your rights.

Martyrdom is sacred to Allah

instead of doing nothing for the nation, race and religion.

- Ismail! - Not like that

We got to hurry

You, step ahead.

- Excuse me sir, can I borrow a pen? - Is this correct?
